The Second Trimester is here!

So there are quite a few differing opinions as to when the second trimester "officially" starts. Some sources say 12 weeks, others say 13.3 weeks and still others hold out all of the way until week 14. Now that we are at 14 weeks though, we are in the second trimester no matter who you consult! It is very exciting to be moving into a new stage. I have noticed that my nausea has decreased as has the extreme fatigue. I still do get tired easily and have a varied assortment of symptoms, but overall I am doing pretty good. I haven't noticed any major changes in the way I look, although now when I press on my stomach I am surprised as it is actually quite hard, so I guess something is happening. This Monday evening we have a tour scheduled at the Clovis Community Birth Center. I am hoping that since this is the hospital I would be delivering at if we decide to go that route that they have a nice atmosphere. We watched the documentary called "The Business of Being Born" a few months ago and ever since that Marshall has been pretty set on wanting a home birth. I myself still want to explore my options :) Anyway, one of my more prevalent symptoms this week has been some serious heartburn. The old wives tales behind that is it means that your baby will have a full head of hair when it's born. For sake of comparison, I have attached our first baby pictures. We definitely weren't baldies, but it doesn't look like *too* much hair! By the way, I love Marshall's little conehead... what a cutie!
